Reception

[edit]

The album was received rather coolly by music critics. From the hastily recorded debut album of Mikhalok's new project Brutto, everyone suffered: the musicians, the leader, and the audience. In it Siarhei did not invent something new, but continued and sharpened the revolutionary line of the most radical records of Lyapis Trubetskoy like Rabkor. Punk-hardcore Brutto sounds even simpler, even more straightforward, and there is no more of this brutal energy in it than before, and the programmatic song of the same name Brutto with a jerking banjo sounds in general impermissibly sluggish and boring.[5]
